FRANKFURT am MAIN, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, and EuroCloud Native (ECN), an initiative of EuroCloud Deutschland_eco e. V., the association of the cloud computing industry in Germany, announced today they are conducting a first-ever study on the state of the cloud-native market in Germany.
The ISG Pulse Check survey, conducted on behalf of ECN, is asking 200 companies in Germany about their current and planned use of cloud-native technologies and the extent to which they are currently benefiting from them. It will also identify the criteria companies use to select service providers in this space. The survey results will be presented at the ECN Summit, October 28 in Frankfurt am Main.
Cloud-native technologies enable organizations to build and run scalable applications on cloud infrastructure. They include various tools and techniques, such as containers, service meshes and microservices, used by software developers to exploit the flexibility, scalability and resiliency of cloud computing.
“From serverless applications and DevSecOps to microservices and containers, companies in Germany are linking their business processes more closely to public cloud software, for greater speed and flexibility,” said Heiko Henkes, director of ISG Research in Germany, who oversees the firm’s ISG Provider Lens™ evaluation research there. “Our survey for ECN will reveal the current maturity of the cloud-native technologies market in Germany.”
"The ECN community brings together the innovative power of the public cloud industry in Germany. Together with ISG and our members, we will examine, through this survey, the potential of cloud-native technologies from the enterprise user perspective," said Dr. Nils Kaufmann, head of ECN.
"The cloud-native market in Germany is highly complex and fragmented. Through this research, ISG and ECN will show the landscape in a clearly defined way for ECN members and their potential customers," said Felix Höger, board member at EuroCloud Germany.
Eight member companies of the ECN have been involved in the project and have contributed to the design of the survey: Alice&Bob.Company, CLOUDETEER, Cloudwürdig, Deepshore, GECKO (a member of the release42 Group), globaldatanet, Kubermatic and tecRacer Consulting.
